The big developing story at the 2015 WGC-Cadillac Championship through three rounds is J.B. Holmes finally putting some distance between himself and the rest of the field after giving them a chance to catch him on Friday and early Saturday. 

Holmes, who is looking for his first PGA Tour win since the Wells Fargo Championship last May, began to figure things out late in the third round to pad his lead. He fired a two-under 70 on Saturday to build a five-stroke lead heading into the final round at Doral. 

With all the confidence in the world heading into the final round, Holmes didn't sound like he was going to get too far ahead of himself, via WGC-Cadillac Championship on Twitter:



Here's how the leaderboard stands after the third round:



One possible reason for the mediocre scores on Saturday, per Jason Sobel of The Golf Channel, is the rainy weather conditions overnight that also provided the opportunity for a joke:



The biggest winners on Saturday, besides Holmes, were Dustin Johnson and Bill Haas. In fact, Haas had the best round of the day with a seven-under 65. One reason for the low score is putting like this on the 11th hole, via PGA Tour:



Haas has had an inconsistent start to this season, making five cuts in seven PGA Tour events, with his one top-10 finish being a victory at the Humana Challenge in January. However, his performance in the third round on Saturday sets him up nicely to break that streak. 

In fact, per Rex Hoggard of The Golf Channel, Haas' 65 ranks as the second-best round of the entire tournament:



The only bad part is Haas entered the third round at three over par, so his fantastic Saturday only moved him into a tie for fifth place. He's going to need a lot of help on Sunday to win, but at least he is positioned for a top-five finish.
